Other Important Notes
Accessibility
The RA strives to make all its programs and services available to all persons with disabilities. However, due to the limitations of some facilities and the physical demands of some activities, this is not always possible. Members are encouraged to consult with Susie Farmer at (613) 736-6228 or by e-mail at sfarmer@racentre.com to confirm whether the Association can meet your expectations.
Safeguarding Your Valuables
The RA encourages members to take precautions with their valuables while at the RA. If you choose to leave your valuables in your car, ensure they are out of sight. You should also make sure your car is locked at all times. There are day-use lockers in all locker rooms and wallet lockers in LifeFIT Centre, the East and West lobbies at the RA Centre as well as the lobby of the Rideau Tennis Club. These wallet lockers are available for your use free of charge (see staff for a token). The Association is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items.
Violence and Harassment Policy
Effective June 1, 2010, the RA has a new Workplace Violence and Harassment Policy in place. The purpose of this policy is to ensure that staff, members and guests of the RA are provided an environment where everyone feels welcome and is treated with dignity, free from discrimination or harassment based on ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, family status or disability. Each staff person, member and guest is expected to contribute and maintain such an environment. At the Association, issues related to human rights, violence, discrimination or harassment are treated very seriously. The Association will not knowingly permit discrimination, harassment and violence and will take appropriate steps to prevent and eliminate such behavior. Management is responsible to ensure that the policy is respected. Throughout an investigation, utmost discretion and care will be taken to ensure confidentiality wherever possible.
Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to the Association. We are dedicated to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all your personal information. We ask for your personal information to be able to serve you better. The RA’s Privacy Policy complies with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act of Canada. Further information is available by contacting the RA’s Privacy Officer at 613-733-5100.
